Episode 82
Episode Summary
Duncan's epiphany began when Pomegranate was asked to observe why people were spending up to $500 daily on virtual games like Farmville. Their research resulted in a model of addiction which began to highlight key neurological switches in the human brain, that large corporations were utilising to manipulate consumers into spending more.
Fast forward, and Pomegranate now use those same psychological tactics to build customer journeys that encompass an ethical approach instead. Duncan explained how they achieve this and what fascinating insights they've learnt. We also discussed the transitional challenges of Web 2.0 and 3.0 moving forward, and what CX professionals can learn from a greater understanding of human behaviour.
